LOW

Why flagged The non-standard host hosts a data file (data.zip) for personal use, not executable code; worst case is data tampering, not remote code execution, and the package otherwise builds from official project repositories.

Triggered rules

LOW AI review downgraded a static finding llm_review

The static rules flagged this MEDIUM, but an AI model (qwen/qwen3-235b-a22b-07-25) reviewed the full PKGBUILD and judged it LOW (confidence 90%): The non-standard host hosts a data file (data.zip) for personal use, not executable code; worst case is data tampering, not remote code execution, and the package otherwise builds from official project repositories.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)

MEDIUM source=() URL on a non-standard host source_untrusted_domain

One or more source=() URLs point to a host outside the trusted allowlist (github.com, gitlab.com, codeberg.org, pypi.org, …).
